Animal Testing has been a topic of debate for years as some people would say that it is morally wrong, whereas others may say that it is for the greater good of man kind.

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." -Albert Einstein, 1941

My Opinion

danchristie25 — 2014-04-28 20:23:12 UTC

~I think that there isn't a God, I believe in the facts not the faiths.

~Religion is a product of Science.

~People say that the universe has so much beauty and so complex but in fact it's quite the opposite. The Universe is made up of 112 Elements that we know of and we find the universe beautiful in Human view, but take the universe from the point of an animal and it may not so appealing.

~I think that life on earth is a coincidence and we may not of existed.

~There are about 6 Billion habitable planets in the universe.

+We can monitor animals behavior to look at patterns and signs that can help save children's lives.

+Animal Testing saves lives. 10 animals sacrificed to help cure a specific form of Parkinson disease.

+Animal Testing Changes the quality of our lives, without it society may not be as sophisticated as it is now.

+Some animals that are tested would either be killed or eaten anyway.

+Animal suffering is kept to a minimum. Most of the time there is no pain at all.

+Instead of preventing a disease, cure the disease.

-Animals have to suffer for our benefit

-We can use other methods to remove the animals from the equations like simulations.

-We can already prevent the problems like malaria using a net.

Humans Are Animals

Humans may be nothing more than animals at a basic level but what makes us stand out from the crowd?

I think that at a conscientious level we are superior to the animal kingdom but at a physical level we are all the same as we have evolved from them. Give an animal the raw materials to make something basic, they will undoubtedly fail.

Stewardship/Dominion

danchristie25 — 2014-04-28 21:28:55 UTC

Stewardship is when we act as stewards towards our environment and animals. It is our job to look after each other, all living creatures and the planet itself. "The Earth is the lords, and all that is in it, the world, and those who lives in it." -Psalms 24:1

Dominion is where we rule over the Earth and those within. "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the air and every other living creature that moves on the ground." -Genesis 1:28

Is there a God?

Evolution

danchristie25 — 2014-04-28 21:41:13 UTC

Charles Darwin formed a theory that we had evolved from primates to what we are now. Christians are against this view as it goes against what the bible says and how the first men and woman were created on earth.
